We always assume Atlanteans were white, because a Greek guy was the first one who told us about it, don't we?
Another thing I used to mention a lot more in my reviews, and which I haven't mentioned in a while, is the role of children -- not just the emphasis on childbirth or lack thereof on the Island, but the kids themselves. I think you and I agreed months ago that we're not likely to see any kind of resolution to why Aaron and Walt especially were deemed "important." With the introduction of the Lighthouse, though, I'm foreseeing a post-script (perhaps part of this mysterious half-hour they've added on to that final episode) where Jack has the Lighthouse functioning again, and he uses it to spy on Aaron, Walt, Ji-Yeon, Charlie Hume, Sawyer's daughter (Clementine?) and, if the timelines do converge without one eradicating the other, probably David Shepherd. Probably with the indication that one of them is destined to be Jack's replacement (or to start a familial line that 300 years from now will give us Jack's successor, or some such nonsense).
I'll be pleasantly surprised if we see the answers to any of these questions -- what I think we will see is more death and destruction. We still don't know why Smokey can't leave the Island as long as there's a Guardian, and I doubt that will get further explained either.
